Isiah Kiner-Falefa wanted to come back to Toronto

He’ll do anything to help the club win.

IKF is ready to do anything for the Blue Jays. Embrace life on the bench, play the outfield — even catch. “It’s the least I can do.” https://t.co/g9qjEp1qUF

Things are bad in Seattle

The club needs to get back on its feet.

The Mariners have dropped 14 of their last 20 games and are holding onto just a 1.5 game lead in the AL Wild Card picture…

Alex Bregman should be a free agent

Makes sense: he should get out of his contract.

From @JeffPassan:

“Barring an injury or catastrophic slump, (Alex Bregman) will opt out and join Tucker and Schwarber in a clear top tier among this winter's free agents … Bregman is bound to get the five-year-plus deal at an average annual value of $35 million-plus” pic.twitter.com/MzOYgHgIF3
